Took a bike ride this afternoon:
Things of note:
- An Uber driver stopped without pulling over right in front of me on May near Carroll. I tried to swerve to avoid him but my front tire caught one of those large boards they put over potholes which caused me to wipe out. The guy didn’t even notice since he never looked up from his phone.
- On California near Chicago a guy had to swerve out of the bike lane to avoid me. I didn’t even realize he was there until he was right up on me. I caught up with him at the light and he was still looking at his phone, so I yelled at him to put his fucking phone down. He then swerved at me on purpose near Grand.
- Cars were parked sporadically in the bike lane at basically every point on Grand that isn’t protected.
- This street is ugly as fuck, by the way, so anytime people complain about bike lanes ruining it I have to laugh.
Biking in the city can be nice but we really need some enforcement.
